“The message of Advent doesn’t fit neatly into a sound-bite or vignette. It’s too complex, too deep, to compete with glitter and noise; and it’s a hard sell in a culture that would rather skip straight to the big finish. But Advent is too important to be forgotten, because it is this season that prepares […]
My husband and I belong to a small group. We meet every Tuesday evening. This group is different from any group I have been involved with in the past. Many small groups in churches are organized around common interests or hobbies. This might be a cooking club, a book club, a crafts club. Others are […]
Thanksgiving – a time with family. Over the years the family gathering has gotten smaller as kids grow up, move away, have kids of their own. But at this time of year, I always remember some of the great interactions with my grandchildren. There was Robert: Growing up Robert loved to talk. I always tried […]
I shared in Words to Build a Life On how I have found the Bible a source of strength and hope in difficult times. These “words” have been my strength, my guidance. My Top Verses of a Lifetime John 3:16 – For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that […]
Thinking this month as we celebrated Veterans Day of the Veterans in my life. In many ways their experiences were similar. No doubt they could have shared with each other stories of boot camp, of foreign lands and the homesickness they must have felt as they left family and friends behind for their tour of duty. […]
I have written about this day before, but every October the memory of that day returns. First, it was in October that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Second, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And – I can never stop telling about this wonderful story of God’s love and mercy to me. If you […]
After a trip to the emergency room followed by a stay in the hospital last month, I was given a heart monitor to wear for two weeks. The results of that monitor required a visit to a cardiologist. Now I am scheduled for a heart catheterization. But in the process of my visit to the […]
My town of St Johns Michigan recently had an car show during the annual Mint Festival. One of the cars there was extra special. It featured the era of Al Capone and the Untouchables. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Last week my husband and I returned from a quick trip from our home in mid-Michigan to southern Illinois. We had gone south for the funeral of my sister-in-law who died just ten days before her 91st birthday. Returning home, I was so anxious to sleep in my own bed. All that morning as we […]
It was over 60 years ago but I still remember the day as if it were yesterday. What an exciting day! The day my family got a television set. The first television I saw was at my grandmother’s house. It had a very tiny screen and, of course, the shows were in black and white. […]

Asked if he thought Jesus was Caucasian as depicted in many paintings, Dr. E.V. Hill gave this answer: “I don’t know anything about a white Jesus…I know about Christ, a Savior named Jesus. I don’t know what color He is. He was born in the brown Middle East; He fled to black Africa; and He […]
My husband’s older sister recently died. Eight years older than my husband he always loved visiting with her. He has written a poem which I wanted to share today in her honor. While we grieve it is not without hope. Mary committed her life to Jesus Christ years ago, so we share that hope of […]
